I usually browse by type of genre. For that I have added my own type tag and divided the albums in my library over about twenty different types. For example "evening". Those are the popular albums my wife also likes to hear. It is a bit of work to manually add the type to all the albums and keep doing so with new additions. In your case the never heard albums without type won't appear when you browse by type.

Greetings,

I do something similar and add a tag to the tracks called collection when I first add a new album. For my needs I then subdivide the collection with the initials of whose 'music it is' as the entry in that field.

Then using the 'power' of minimserver I have added (within properties ) collection as an index tag and then collection appears in the menu tree and the music is then split across the different entries I have made into that field. e.g. if I had 30 albums and entered 10 with Martin, 10 with Elaine and left 10 blank in that field, I would see Martin, Elaine and unknown as the headers each with 10 albums in them. Having selected which collection I want I can then navigate via album artist etc within that collection only.

If I want to access all of the albums then I just start with album artist at the top and leave out the collection step. Easy peasy. Many thanks to Simon for his help with that at the time.

So you could create a field in the ones you want to separate called something or other e.g. collection - and enter something suitable 'new or notheard' into those album's tracks. Enter that into that field on those albums only and leave the rest blank then you should get what I think you are after - a group of notheard and then the rest.

Apologies if my explanation isn't clear. I keep getting interrupted and it shows a little.
